Pokémon Island Cave

The Cave (Japanese: どうくつCave) is one of the six major areas of Pokémon Island, and like its name suggests, it is a dark cave accessed via the nearby River. The Cave is home to many nocturnal and Poison Pokémon.

Thirteen different kinds of Pokémon may be photographed within the cave at any given time, although Pester Balls will reveal the cave's Bulbasaur to actually be Ditto in disguise. Hoards of Zubat can be seen and heard chirping and fluttering about, while the local Jigglypuff are pestered by the Koffing.

Towards the back of the cave's third chamber, several large crystals twinkle in the darkness like stars. If photographed, the developed photos show a mysterious and ghostly aurora around the crystals that resembles Mewtwo. Professor Oak names this Pokémon signMewtwo Constellation.

Todd's description

Native Pokémon

At the start of the course, there are openings on the cave walls where this Pokémon can be seen. Pokémon food will make them turn around. Two more appear if the player takes pictures of the first two. One appears on a platform below the player, and the second appears to the left.

Three of these can be found flying around, each being harassed by a Koffing. Hitting the three Koffing with Pester Balls will cause three Jigglypuff to appear at the very end of the stage on the right.

Special photographs

Balloon Pikachu

If the Zubat carrying Pikachu is hit with a Pester Ball, it will fly off and Pikachu will fall. However it spawns a group of balloons that carry it to safe ground. Taking a picture while Pikachu is drifting down will earn lots of points.

Pikachu riding Articuno

After rescuing Pikachu from Zubat and Articuno hatches, near the exit Articuno will be seen flying towards Todd with Pikachu on its back.

Jigglypuff on Stage

If the Koffing chasing Jigglypuff is hit with a Pester Ball, Jigglypuff will puff off to the stage. The way you will get the most amount of points is to save all of the Jigglypuff. The stage is at the end of the Cave, and the iconic song of the Jigglypuff plays.
